A post-doctoral position is available immediately in the
School of Biological Sciences (http://sgi.bls.umkc.edu),
University of Missouri-Kansas City (http://www.umkc.edu).
The lab is involved in the structure-function studies of
pectate degrading enzymes, specifically pectate lyases and
polygalacturonases (http://sgi.bls.umkc.edu/yoder/pectinase).
Crystals are available for some of the proteins of interest.
Experience in protein purification, crystallization, data
collection, and/or model building is desirable.
The X-ray Crystallography Facility at UMKC is equipped
with a Rigaku rotating anode x-ray generator, a Mar phosphoimaging
plate detector, and ADSC low temperature device. The facility
has 3 SGI workstations, a Protein Solutions dynamic light scattering
instrument, and is housed in a lab maintained at constant temperature
and humidity. Kansas City has a population of approximately 1.5
million, and straddles the boundaries of the states of Kansas and
Missouri. The city has excellent social, cultural, and educational
opportunities (http://www.kansascity.com).
Interested candidates should send a full CV, three
references, and a one page summary of research experience and interests.
